Let’s forget all the obstacles for a while…and recapitulate all that we gathered as the “AGENTS” for the BIG CHANGE that we wish to have to how engineering exists and gets operated in our country:

1. Creating an engineering education system consisting of “great teachers” sound in basics and passionate about engineering themselves, and contents which would equip the students to be more than ready for the professional challenges and expectations

2. Catalyzed by the above, creating a support system – both capable and committed – attracting the most challenging assignments from every corner of the world straightening the path for business leaders and engineers – providing them stable perspective, adequate reasons for sticking to engineering, and facilitating the growth of the ecosystem as they are blessed with their own growth

3. Ensuring that the “current” engineers lead charged-up lives with a deep sense of professional satisfaction with their energy levels kept intact (and not looking for hopefully peaceful retired lives at least without the day-to-day grudges of not-so-great professional lives!) and preparing themselves for their role as senior “fountains” of inspiration for the future engineers

We need to work on the above…as we have arrived…just as the time for the BIG CHANGE! Let’s get into action – real action!

Well, you may be thinking what is holding “Team infiDOF” from moving to Blog No. 12 – a dozen counts! Nothing really…only thinking, deeper than ever before, just as you, towards creating an unbeatable set of differentiators for all of us – in engineering as a nation!

We started with this single objective – our journey both as an Organization, and as your friend and a fellow engineering-being!

We have discussed several aspects, and shared with you all that we think, and intend to work upon in the days to come. We are reminded of a story of farmer. He had a friend who had been discussing with him for several years his desire to renounce everything and adopt an ascetic life. A day came, when the farmer confronted his friend saying – “You have been talking to me about your desire for several years. Do you think if it would ever happen?” His friend asked back, “How do you think it would happen?” The farmer answered, “Like this…” Then he picked up a towel nearby, put it on his shoulder, and walked away…renounced, without feeling even a need to give a parting look!

Are we ready – really ready – for the change that we wish to bring in?
